To be fair to the mad murdering barstewards, I do agree with their idea of murdering people in shorts - most of them, anyway. Decent young laydees excepted, but most people - male and female and other - look gopping with their knees showing. I certainly do

Changing in a locker room might cause them to lose the shyness that is the hallmark of good morals, the booklet warned.

It went on to say that the girls might become attracted to each other after seeing their classmates in tight leotards and tops."
